Agents write most of the code for a solo blockchain project

A solo developer is building an independent Rust blockchain from a white paper. AI coding agents write most of the code under his direction, and AI models review it. An agent implemented the fix for a stake counting overflow in the consensus check, and the developer decides what merges and runs the tests.

How it works

  1. He directs AI coding agents that write most of the project code
  2. AI reviews flag design points
  3. An agent implements the shared quorum predicate fix in three places
  4. He runs the tests and decides what merges

Why it’s worth knowing

The whole project, a working blockchain consensus engine, is agent written with one human as the only reviewer and merge gate.
